January 20, 20215 yr I've got to ASSume that this means we have a better plan in place (that hopefully doesn't fall through). 8 mill on a 1 yr and Q made too much sense for the Sox and for him to return.
January 20, 20215 yr Q might really like playing for Maddon. CA has something like a 13% state income tax on a salary that high. Of course he would only pay tax on half, but it's a decent chunk of money. It tells me the Sox weren't too interested in a reunion. Edited January 20, 20215 yr by Dick Allen

January 20, 20215 yr Joe Maddon was likely the deciding factor if he received bids from any other team. They had a good relationship. Q’s clubhouse ties with the White Sox are gone.

I think this is the correct take on the Q signing. Something is going down soon I would imagine.

He did say over the next few days, and so far: nothing. Edit: if the rumors are true, I doubt he is connected enough to know about a potential Sox/Brewers trade. Seems to be more on the Dominican player side. Edited January 20, 20215 yr by manbearpuig
January 20, 20215 yr Well we wait and wait, Musgrove gone, Quintana gone. Odorizzi is left out there. Do they go for him now?? Are we saving the money for Bauer? Cruz? Ozuna? Only time will tell if we roll the dice with Vaughn at DH, and hope Cease?Kopech or Lopez emerge.

January 20, 20215 yr Yeah this would have been a great get for the White Sox, and at the right price. Hopefully they've got something else up their sleeves.

January 20, 20215 yr Have to wonder how healthy he is given nobody would even go 2/15 it appears. Might have dodged a bullet here.

January 22, 20215 yr I have a feeling this is going to be a mistake as we wind up with someone like Cahill after missing everyone..
